/CNW/ -
GoGold Resources Inc.
(TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF)
("GoGold", "the Company")
is pleased to announce the financial results for the first fiscal quarter of
2022, for the three months ended
December 31, 2021
, where Parral generated
$8.9 million
in revenue
(all amounts are in U.S. dollars) from the sale of 401,214 silver equivalent ounces.
"In the quarter, we continue to invest heavily in our main driver of value – the Los Ricos district – as we
advance our second 100,000 metre drill program," said
Brad Langille
, President and CEO. "At Parral,
we have increased the recoverable ounces stacked and although there will be quarterly variations in
production, over the seven years of remaining reserves the operation should average approximately
2.0 – 2.2 million silver equivalent ounces per year."
During the quarter Parral generated free cash of
$3.4 million
before working capital changes, although
production decreased from prior quarters as the project transitioned to a different zone in the tailings
deposit. Stacking of recoverable ounces on the heap leach pad exceeded production by 59%, which
resulted in a cash investment of
$4.2 million
associated with the increase in heap inventory. The
Corporation also invested
$1.0 million
in supply inventory, predominantly cyanide, to mitigate the risk of
supply chain interruptions for key supplies which could affect operations.
Highlights for the quarter ending
December 31, 2021
:
Revenue of
$8.9 million
on the sale of 401,214 silver equivalent ounces at a realized price per

Cash of

prior year. The Company capitalized
$5.8 million
to the projects for drilling, exploration and consulting
for the quarter ended
December 31, 2021
, compared to
$4.3 million
in the prior year. This included
$4.8 million
at Los Ricos North and

not be offered or sold within

Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) except in compliance with the registration requirements of
the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to exemptions therefrom. This
release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy of any of GoGold's

This news release may contain "forward-looking information" as defined in applicable Canadian
securities legislation. All statements other than statements of historical fact, included in this release,
including, without limitation, statements regarding the Parral tailings project, the Los Ricos project,
future operating margins, future production and processing, and future plans and objectives of GoGold,
constitute forward looking information that involve various risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking
information is based on a number of factors and assumptions which have been used to develop such
information but which may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to, assumptions in connection
with the continuance of GoGold and its subsidiaries as a going concern, general economic and market
conditions, mineral prices, the accuracy of mineral resource estimates, and the performance of the
Parral project There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate and actual
results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking
information.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from GoGold's expectations
include exploration and development risks associated with the GoGold's projects, the failure to
establish estimated mineral resources or mineral reserves, volatility of commodity prices, variations of
recovery rates, the effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic, and global economic conditions. For

Cautionary non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures
Note that for purposes of this section, GAAP refers to IFRS. The Company believes that investors use
certain non-GAAP and additional GAAP measures as indicators to assess mining companies. They are
intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for measures of performance prepared with GAAP. Non-GAAP and additional GAAP measures do not
have a standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar
measures presented by other companies.
Additional GAAP measures that are presented on the face of the Company's consolidated statements
of comprehensive income include "Operating income (loss)". These measures are intended to provide
an indication of the Company's mine and operating performance. "Cash flow from operating activities
before changes in non-cash working capital" is a non-GAAP performance measure that could provide
an indication of the Company's ability to generate cash flows from operations, and is calculated by
adding back the change in non-cash working capital to "Net cash used in operating activities" as
presented on the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. Per ounce measures are
calculated by dividing the relevant mining and processing costs and total costs by the tonnes of ore
processed in the period. "Cash costs per ounce" and "all-in sustaining costs per ounce" as used in this
analysis are non-GAAP terms typically used by mining companies to assess the level of gross margin
available to the Company by subtracting these costs from the unit price realized during the period.
These non-GAAP terms are also used to assess the ability of a mining company to generate cash flow
from operations. There may be some variation in the method of computation of these metrics as
determined by the Company compared with other mining companies. In this context, "cash costs per
ounce" reflects the cash operating costs allocated from in-process and dore inventory associated with
ounces of silver and gold sold in the period. "Cash costs per ounce" may vary from one period to
another due to operating efficiencies, grade of material processed and silver/gold recovery rates in the
period. "All-in sustaining costs per ounce" include total cash costs, exploration, corporate and
administrative, share based compensation and sustaining capital costs. For a reconciliation of non-
GAAP and GAAP measures, please refer to the Management Discussion and Analysis dated
February
8, 2022
for the quarter ended
December 31, 2021
, as presented on SEDAR.
